himself metaphorical. they thought he was so disastrous. none had the courage to talk about publicly. mccarthy is in the same category. as someone that remains a reluctant republican is the motive is two tracks. private bravery and public bootlicking. that s what we have seen time and time again. not just recently and after the election why this goes back far in time to 2016. mccarthy sat in paul ryan s office with me when we had conversations about a trump i inoculation plan. he thought donald trump was a disaster, needed to be stopped. would he admit to that today? i hope a reporter asks him.
did he subscribe to the trump inoculation plan? why did he change the tune so quickly? the very big concern is someone potentially in line to go be speaker of the house who has been proven to be lying. we say things like show us the receipts. he said it in the past 12 hours. lied to the american people. i think that s disqualifying for the country job. what gives me worry is if mccarthy can t get the speakership i worry now that they ll go further to the right and someone more trumpy and engaged further in the actions to foment the insurrection. i don t see the possibility of mccarthy being sidelined to get better leadership in the republican party. jackie, i listened to these tapes. i want to play you pressing
